I trained in London and have worked with brides across Surrey, the Home Counties and beyond, from intimate garden ceremonies to grand country house celebrations. Every wedding has been different. Every bride has reminded me why this work matters.

I'm Clara and I've spent the last eight years doing what I love most.

The person behind the brushes

We'll talk about the night before, laugh about something small, and slowly, quietly, your look will come together. By the time I set down my brushes, you won't just look ready. You'll feel it - in the way only happens when something is completely, beautifully right.

What I hope you feel, more than anything, is calm. I want you to sit down, take a breath, and trust that this part is taken care of. 

Before the day begins

I work with looks that last and that photograph honestly, whether soft & dewy or a little more defined.
